She remembers the spells.

When he shows her how to move the wand
the words escape her lips without her actually thinking them.

They are still in the forest,
but it's daytime,
and the forest is just a forest.

He refuses to leave anywhere before she knows a few essential spells.

"I'm not risking it" He says as makes her stand and prepare herself, "I'm not letting you get lost again with no way of protecting yourself!"

So, he shows her and she follows.

And realizes she can do all of them.
Just by following the movements of his wand,
she performs flawless spells,
like he remembers her doing before all this.

With that she starts to remember memories connected to certain spells.

And he's not sure if he should be relieved,
or disappointed,
because it seems familiar things make her remember more.

And that means she has the best chances to get her memories back with her people.
People who know her,
who she has made memories with before.

It means staying with him won't help her further.
Him keeping her won't bring back what she has lost.

So he tells Dipsy names of the people he knows to belong to The Order.
Tells it to find any of them,
because he's sure now that being with her people will be the best for her.

They still don't know for sure how they got separated when they came to this forest,
but Dipsy says she thinks it was because of the haste they left
And he can't think of any better explanation,so he believes it.
He has to if he wants to get her out.

In the evening of the third night in the middle of the woods
he looks at her as she stares at the fire
The shadows dance on her face as she sits,
buried in her thoughts.

Even after spending days in the forest,
she's beautiful in the firelight,
with her messy hair,
like some forest-fairy in stories they tell children.

He thinks of her lips on his,
her figure in his arms,
and wishes so bad things could be different.
That it wouldn't have had to be the only time.

But Girls like her are not for boys like him.

No...
But still in the night she curls up against him,
and he holds her,
even when it's just for this moment,
for this moment she's his.

The next day Dipsy tells him it has found what they were looking for.

And he knows this is it,
the time for him to let her go.

She remembers,
bits and pieces when she performs the spells.

She remembers the mountain troll with Wingardium Leviosa.
The corridor in the third floor with Alohomora.
Neville falling with Petrificus Totalius.
The room with glowing orbs with Lumos.
The room full of people watching with Protego.
A figure with a mask falling with Stupefy.
A wand flying from her hand with Expelliarmus.

Knowing the spells makes her giddy.
She can finally help him!
And even her feet are better now!
Like maybe things will start to work out.

But the sadness in his eyes tells her different.
The way he rarely smiles at her, the way he shuts down. She knows he's planning on something, and she has a feeling she will not like his plan.

And then comes the morning her bad feeling is confirmed.

"You need to go back," He tells her with serious tone.
A tone that tells her she shouldn't fight back.
But she's going to anyway!
Even though she is quite certain he'll win this argument,
she has to try!
